How we spend your money

The DEC raises funds for its 14 member charities which are the UK's leading aid agencies. We spend in the order of 90% of the money we raise on overseas aid work including supplies, staff and transport.
The DEC never spends more than 5% of the money it raises on fundraising. Our member agencies never spend more than 7% supporting their aid efforts from the UK. This means the minimum spent on aid delivered overseas is 88%.
What we do
The DEC brings together the leading UK aid agencies to finance relief for people affected by major disasters in poorer countries.
